How a Dzogchen yogi may go astray

19th October 2025

Many people think that practising Dzogchen is simple, that it is a path of non-meditation where there is nothing to do and we can behave however we like. This short teaching by Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche, given in 1999, explains how a practitioner of Dzogchen should behave, and how to recognise when a yogi has gone astray. “The Action-less Path of Entering into Nature i)             If you say: ‘This is Great Perfection and so it doesn’t matter what I do, I can do whatever I like!’ then you are a yogi who has completely gone astray. ii)            If…

Prière à Lachen Drenpa Namkha désormais disponible en français / Prayer to Lachen Drenpa Namkha now available in French

12th October 2025

Suivant ce conseil, nous mettons désormais ce livret de prières à…

New Article: Rainbow Body & Christ

19th July 2025

Dear Friends, FPYB is happy to present a new article by Dmitry Ermakov. This article is based on the presentation given at the Sixth International Conference of Bon Studies, Triten Norbutse Institution, Kathmandu, 7–8 February 2025, during Yongdzin Lopön Tenzin Namdak Rinpoche’s centenary jubilee celebration. On that occasion, I had to cut or summarise some points due to time constraints, so I have re-inserted them here in full as well as including some additional material spurred on by the questions and discussions that my presentation sparked.
